caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
Never turn off the printer while the Operate light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than five minutes.
Even if you don’t see a message that a cartridge is low on ink or empty, you may need to replace it if it’s more than six months old. If your printouts don’t look as good as they used to, try cleaning and aligning the print head first. If print quality doesn’t improve, replace one or both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before you see a message on the LCD panel:
1.Make sure the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on and not printing. Then open the document and maintenance covers.
2.Press the E load/eject button and hold it down for about three seconds until the print head moves left. The Operate light begins flashing.
3.Remove the old ink cartridge and install the new cartridge
as described in “Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges” on page 122. Don’t press the R cleaning button,
however. Close the maintenance and document covers and press the E load/eject button instead.
The EPSON Stylus Scan moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system. The Operate light flashes and the printer makes various sounds. Charging takes about one minute. When it’s finished, the Operate light stops flashing and stays on.
